(AP) — The Montana House broke for a short recess Wednesday, joining Senate colleagues in a brief break before reconvening Monday to begin work on finalizing a state budget and crafting a comprehensive infrastructure plan that has long eluded a fractured state government. [...] Republicans are also wary of new taxes, including "revenue enhancers" the governor and Democrats have proposed — such as a tax on wine and establishing a new income tax bracket for the state's wealthiest residents. The lower number is a result of the budgetary challenges the state faces partly because of lower tax revenues from oil and gas production. Bullock said he was hopeful legislators would "roll up their sleeves, put aside their differences and get to work crafting a budget that levels the playing field for Montana taxpayers, makes responsible investments in critical services and keeps money in the bank for a rainy day."
